How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure even pigment distribution. For brushing, apply thin coats and allow each layer to dry before adding subsequent layers for smooth, controlled coverage. For airbrushing, dilute to the manufacturer’s recommended viscosity for Model Air paints and test spray on a spare surface to adjust pressure and distance. Use appropriate primers on bare plastic or metal to improve adhesion and preserve surface detail.

Usage recommendations

Store the paint upright in a cool, dry place and seal the cap tightly after use. Clean brushes and airbrush components with water or a mild cleaner while the paint is still wet. Allow full curing time before applying varnishes or adhesive elements.
